Thank....
Tomorrow the semi-final and final XD ....

Your opinion why so quickly lost Ishikawa - Yoshimura?

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

no idea, but you can see the replay on live.jtta.or.jp

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

looks like Yuto MURAMATSU is through to the 4th round, UDA as well.

Any detailed results? I cannot read the website...

sorry ... you can install a Chrome extension called Rikaikun to translate by hovering your mouse on words but i'm not sure it works well with family names

Sora Matushima through to QF of U18. Pretty good achievement for a 10 years old. Seems ages ago when his parents was posting 2 yrs old Sora on youtube!

He is 11 years old, in three months 12 years.

He is 11 years old, in three months 12 years.

Thank you for the correction!

never even heard about UEMURA and ABE. They must be young players

Poor Abe...she was the WD finalist with Mitsuki Morizono in 2015. A little sad they're now overshadowed.

 

[GusShnaps]

not sure but I think Semis have not been played yet

MORIZONO/ITO vs TAZOE/HAMAMOTO
UEMURA/ABE vs HARIMOTO/NAGASAKI

They're playing right now!!

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

It’s over for Sora Matsushima in junior QF :-(

the favorites both won their semis in XD

the final will be MORIZONO ITO vs HARIMOTO NAGASAKI

Odo took out Kihara...

Nagasaki has so much trouble playing long pips(or medium?) she literally started weeping after dropping game 3.

Biggest upset thus far

On course with my prediction.

At this rate, Nagazaki will drop off the radar. She's only less than 2 years younger than Ito and the likes. If CNT's experience applies as well for JNT, she will live under their shadows and fade away. Kihara has it a little better given those 2 extra years, but it will still be difficult for her.

 

[ttpshot]

Yay for Odo. She's been handling Kihara really well last 12 month. Love how Shitenno keep nurturing very good players into excellent players.
It's great to see both Kihara and Nagasaki losing to the players they have been dominating in U8, U10 and U12 Nationals. Shows you can always catch up after you hit teens.

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

@zeio just wait to Miwa HARIMOTO, she's the next champ in 2 years time !

 

[zeio]

Odo gets taken apart as well.

 

[zeio]

Back-to-back title getto!

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

I was having lunch so didn't watch the games. As expected, MORIZONO / ITO defend their title !

 

[ttpshot]

First big title for Idesawa! Very happy for her. Odo is used to playing against Mid pip/Long pip players as she's in Shitenno so extra mark for Idesawa, hope she backs it up in Pro Tours.

Former lovers...both lost.
